May 2022 Newsletter
Dear Readers,
As promised, I’ve shifted sending out my monthly promotional newsletters to you to substack.com. My primary reason for this is to simplify the process, which will buy me more time for writing. Who knows, I might even carve out time to finish the novella I was working on that is a sequel to The Stars are Red Tonight in the Paradisi Chronicles world this year! Substack doesn’t have as many editing options, so mostly I will just get right down to mentioning which ebooks and audiobooks are discounted this month, what multiple author promotions I have joined that to check out, the monthly raffle where you get the chance of winning a free audiobook.
If all goes well, starting in June, I will be sending out this newsletter to both fans of my science fiction series and my mystery series. That’s why I have included books from both series in this newsletter. If you want more frequent information on how my writing is progressing or my journey as an indie author, I would recommend you also subscribe to An Aging Author’s Daily Diversions.

Monthly Audiobook Raffle
This month the two winners of the raffle will get free copies of the audiobook edition of Between Mountain and Sea. These free codes are now redeemable by listeners in the United States, Canada, Australia, UK, and EU. For those of you in these countries, all you have to do is reply to this email by May 12 and say that you wish to participate, and your name will be entered in the raffle. Please check your spam folders during the following week, because I am sorry to say, often the two codes are not redeemed.
